Dell's View on iSCSI

There is a buzz in the storage industry about iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface), which is the protocol that transports SCSI commands and data over an Ethernet/IP network. As a result, we’ve had some requests for practical guidance on planning or deploying an IP SAN using our Dell/EMC CX3 UltraScale storage systems.

In response, we recently posted this paper that discusses the factors that must be considered with regard to host and network configuration, as well as the choices that can be made with storage system replication and performance.

In this video, Travis Vigil, who leads our iSCSI product strategy, debunks some of the myths we’ve heard in the industry about iSCSI.

 

For those of you interested in even more background, I also interviewed Travis in this podcast where he sheds more light on iSCSI and its advantages.

Travis, This is great! Your messages are right on. iSCSI is easy, cost effective, and fast. Russell Stern CEO, Solarflare Communcations
 
Do you have a one solution NAS, SAN in a box?
 

Good information.  I would like to see another video like this that tells the differences between iSCSI for a SAN and a NAS.  I realize that data storage can be greater on a SAN, but for small to medium businesses a NAS with 1TB of storage is more than enough.

Thoughts?

Craig: Glad to see you found this useful, and thanks for the recommendation. I'll share it with the storage team.

 
steve & Mauro: Thanks for the heads up. Still working through a glitch. Will let you know when it's fixed.

 
Oops... never came back to update... my apologies. The ogg link is fixed.

 
Like steve said, the OGG format video isn't there.
 
Thank you for the OGG format choice, but the link is dead.
 
There is not much information in that paper. It is mostly sales points. My time was wasted trying to read it.
